This year for our family vacation we went camping for 6 days in the White Mountains. Unfortunately, Mark was only able to be up there 3 of the 6 days because of work. So we made the most of our time together and I counted the minutes until he came back.
We went through Globe and New Mexico to get to the White Mountains. On our way, we wanted to stop at the Catwalks in New Mexico but it was closed due to flash flood warnings. It would have been helpful if the website had said that!…but the drive was beautiful.
The girls did really great in the car and finally fell asleep at the perfect time.
But we only stayed in it for two nights because that was all Mark was there for. The rest of the time the girls and I stayed in the trailer with my parents.
The girls had so much fun playing with their cousins! By the end of the day Tessa and Mallory were exhausted and filthy dirty. Each morning they were ready to start again!
When Mark came back up, we took the girls crawdad fishing and for a ride in the Rhino. Mallory loved the fishing and Tessa liked it from afar but both girls loved the Rhino ride. Especially when Daddy drove fast.
Picking flowers!
Tessa got really good at playing Go Fish with her Papa O.
She looks like a card shark with the hat!

After 6 days in the mountains, this was a great sight!
We came home through Salt River Canyon. It was a beautiful drive, I had never been before and it was much faster!!
All in all, we had a wonderful vacation even if it was less than ideal because of Mark’s work schedule.
And in 2 years, I will be ready to go camping again :)
